    Challenging in an apartment setting, but the state of the art here is an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) installed in your home to continuously refresh the air.

    Rim brakes need frame reinforcement at their mount points too, albeit not adapters, so that’s 20g. Hubs are 20g heavier each… I wouldn’t really go for a 20 spoke wheel myself but i…

    On a disc brake bike, calipers are ~100g, rotors ~120g, and then you’ve got ~150g of tubing/fluid. They’re certainly heavier, but the components don’t even add up to 1000g, nevermi…

    Gitlab does support this with “Merged Result pipelines”[0]. We use them extensively alongside their merge train functionality to sequential is everything and it’s fantastic. [0]: h…

    I’d be particularly interested in something along these lines in a 1U form factor if anybody is familiar with such a thing. Obviously the actual fan-less-ness is less important in …

    A TDP comparison is certainly reasonable, though we don't actually have real power consumption metrics so it's a challenging thing to really evaluate. But more to your question, it…

    Worth qualifying the comparisons here with core counts... these are mostly 8 core/16 thread parts, with a few 6 core/12 thread parts, vs the M1 4+4.

    A great question for the folks who actually do CPU design! As somebody who writes JS rather frequently I’m not complaining.

    If anybody else was curious, it appears that the performance win of use of this instruction looks to be about 1-2% in general javascript workloads: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug…

    That's not true at all. HTTP/2 is hugely impactful without using push at all—multiplexing beyond 4/8 streams enables radically different, performant bundling strategies, all "for f…

    Wikipedia claims MTr/mm^2s of: Intel 14: 37.5 Intel 10: 100.8 TSMC 16/14/12: 28.88 TSMC 10: 52.51 TSMC 7: 96.5 to 113.9, depending on iteration. TSMC 5: 173

    150% vs Nashorn is an important caveat here. At {employer} we started our SSRing via Nashorn and later moved to a separately deployed Node service for performance reasons... and sa…

    Can’t feature detect during SSR, so making an educated guess and falling back gracefully (when possible—many times it just isn’t, as with ES6 syntax) is important to get initial pa…

    IMO it’s explained better in the Client Hints specification.

    Browser vendor/version is hugely important information for triaging issues and implementing progressive enhancement approaches on large scale websites.

    They can; Grigore was my advisor in college and I’ve seen him demo exactly that.

    Mootools already is in conflict with the latest Ecmascript: https://mootools.net/core/docs/1.5.2/Types/Array#Array:Array... No reason to start changing the spec for it now. (And I …

    I recently needed to pick up all my childhood legos from my parents’ home and am now seeking a storage solution that... isn’t plastic. Anybody know of anything?
